[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 358868, member: 3419"] Xlagirl, {hugs}. been there done that. Wouldn't it be nice if we could "fix" our kids like an automotive tuneup? Or do PET scans and immediately get a diagnosis? There are places that do that, but it's all still experimental, and until you can get a really good diagnosis, I am not spending that kind of money just to help a dr gather data. Sigh. Having said that, I do think he'll get help, especially with-the suicidal attitude. I woudn't worry too much about stims being stopped. After all, he's in a psychhosp and that's what they're supposed to be good at. They can handle it. He sounded like he was being very brave. I know your heart is breaking but this is sort of a growing up thing and he will get through it and will improve. I posted some details about our experience on the other thread if you want to go back and read it again. Be sure to bring a notebook and spouse or friend to the family mtng to help you take notes and pay attention. Sometimes there's a huge information dump and it's hard to remember it all. It makes sense while you're there, and then the next day you wake up and think, "Was that 10 mg or 5 mg? And what did they say about what kind of therapy?" :anxious::funny: [/QUOTE]
